About the Author
Chapter One
I SAT IN WILSON’S DRAWING room, at least that’s what he called it, sitting next to a mesmerizing simulation of roaring fire in a stone fireplace. The fire was as unreal as the mountain cabin holograms of his apartment he dialed up in memory of our youth. I held a glass of wine more expensive than my car. A 1988 vintage with the soul-crushing name Romanée-Conti. The burgundy held its own against its reputation and was mellower than its reviewers gushed about. But Wilson didn’t trot out a fifty-year-old wine for casual acquaintances, which I wasn’t considered as one, nor for his friends, which I wasn’t either. No. The trillionaire wanted to impress me, but he failed miserably.
He always did.
Wilson left the holoscreen on and tuned to the news. The latest HAAI, Humans Against Artificial Intelligence attack, played out in vivid detail. I didn’t flinch at the bank’s explosion, even with virtual pieces of the building flying at me. When you have lived through the real thing, holoprojections lacked the gravitas to alarm you. The caption read, HAAI bombs a bank that employs only automatic tellers.
The only reason I came to Wilson’s house was out of obligation to my deceased husband, Emory, who begged me on his deathbed to treat Wilson kindly. After a half dozen messages, the last three which came close to pleading, I yielded. I ranted at Emory’s picture about holding me to a promise that I had no desire to keep. However, there I was, looking at the back of my dead husband’s best friend, waiting for him to get to the point of this little shindig.
He turned, smiling with his trademark angelic grin, and looked down at the artificial fur ball in his arms. I wanted to throw my wine in his face.
I do not appreciate looking at the Pet Baby since those things started the descent of my life into hell. It was white, with blue eyes, in the form of a cat—the Miss Kitty line of these monstrosities.
What the ever-loving hell, Wilson?
I said.
This was your best work, Jaine.
The thing opened its mouth, but instead of meowing, as originally programmed to do, the damn thing spoke.
Hello, Aunt Jaine.
I sat my glass on the glass-topped table by my chair and stood. My hands shook with fury, but again, I kept my cool despite my anger. Wilson, like any other rich man, had security systems throughout the whole apartment, with a team of security men watching our every word.
